I think the mousepads turned out really well, we've ordered a stack ourselves!

I'll leave the shop running for a few months in case anyone else wants the same designs as those requested

To everyone who mailed in, if the design you asked for isn't there yet, don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I'll put the designs you asked for on there within the next two weeks. If anyone can think of anything else they would like, or would like a design on any of the other Cafepress mechandise, post here and I'll add it to the list.

Readjusted some of the prices, thanks for pointing out I'd set some wrong , basically all the prices are set at 95c higher than the cafe press shop so if anyone sees any discrepancies let me know. Any profits made pay to keep the cafe press shop open. We don't make any money on it, it's basically just so people can have the tshirts they want.

Also, if anyone knows somewhere better or cheaper than cafe press, feel free to mail me or post here. I don't mind putting in some time getting the designs set up if we can get prices down.

Thanks, I'll check them out. We don't really make anything out of the tshirts (it just about pays to keep the cp shop open currently), we just do it because lot's of people asked for them. So anything we can do to reduce the price means everyone else benefits. So far we've been happy with cafepress except for two things: postage outside the US is pretty slow and expensive, and they don't do black tshirts. Other than that the quality has been good.

Haha! They're pretty good! We don't really make any money of tshirts/mechandise though. The markup is only $1 on each item, and that just about pays to keep the shop open. We basically only opened it because a few people wanted stuff and mailed in (the thongs were a request as were some of the tshirt design variations). At some point I keep meaning to put on a load more stuff, some of the wireframes of the enemy ships look really cool, so I wanted a tshirt with them on myself

At one point I was investigating the cost of having figurines made of all the characters - this was only because I'd really like some!!

As I said though, we only really do this as a service for customers, there's no money in it, and I doubt there ever will be, but if anyone wants anything in particular, I'm happy to put it on there if you let me know.

Ooo. The stuff looks cool. (That Devastator thong looks cool <i>and</i> sexy!). Although I like the idea of some stuff with quotes from the game on it as well as an image. (Some of X-fighters ideas are very amusing, but...not something I would share with my parents...) I like the idea of a shirt saying "We are the Xenarch. We control this node. You're weapons are useless here."
Maybe a shirt that has the Aegeis crew and the text: "So were expendable again?" "Sadly, yes" on the front and o the back it says "great" or something like that. *shrugs* just thowing out ideas.
If you haven't gotten pictures of <i>girls</i> wearing the thong, I shudder to think what you have gotten...

Looks like a halfway house between doing it yourself and cafepress - They only do apparel, but they can do screenprinting (i.e - white on black). We would have to order several of each tshirt in advance - so there's a far greater cost involved - though not as abd as getting all the tshirts amde yourself.
